I have been bringing groups of ladies to Grafham Water Centre for over ten years, 6 times a year to sew, knit, bead, spin and do scrapbooking. This place is heaven on earth... a place where you are warmly welcomed and looked after so well. The food is superb and plentiful and the staff are very accommodating to any dietary requests. The food is freshly served canteen style with a delicious buffet lunch with homemade soup in the winter to keep you warm. The breakfasts are legendary...better,…

Thank you so much Dom! You are a superstar to all our…

The pods for the teachers were great and being in a more open space made looking after the children easier. Facilities such as toilets and showers were easy to…

We both had a great day – paddleboarding and then on the high ropes. I especially wanted to pass on thanks to Hannah and Nieve (apologies if misspelt). While others in our group were getting ready, Hannah took Zac and I down to the water to see where all the equipment was and gave us some pointers for paddleboarding and kayaking. This was really…
